Traveling Furniture 'KNOTTER'
'Traveling Furniture | KNOTTER' is a furniture brand launched by an architect team centered around Takahiro Mashima and Junya Watanabe. Feeling the issue of 'short-lived furniture' where furniture is replaced with every lifestyle change such as employment or marriage, we developed 'Traveling Furniture | KNOTTER' to be passed down by changing users and places.

'KNOTTER' is furniture that can travel through life with you, making assembly, disassembly, and transport free through the fusion of traditional Japanese architectural joining methods and modern pre-cut production technology. The products pre-sold on Makuake utilize idle timber hard to find in the market. By intentionally using 'knotted wood' for the bed frame and 'large-diameter wood' for the side table, the individuality of the wood is expressed. It features the natural grain and texture of solid wood, unlike plywood or laminated wood, and aging where the color deepens and gloss appears over time. In addition, furniture that has finished its role after traveling will be collected and repaired free of charge by the Company, circulating to the next user. It eliminates the hassle and guilt of disposal, allowing you to lightly send your precious furniture on its next journey.
